Your critique is absurd. Skousen never even worked in the FBI Division (#5) where the FBI's experts on the CPUSA were assigned. Furthermore, he never was even recommended for transfer to that unit (Domestic Intelligence Division) AND Skousen never even worked internal security cases....His "45 Goals" is just a list of things he did not like so he decided to claim that they were all "Communist" objectives.

YOUR argument is with Hoover and the FBI because they falsified most of what Skousen claimed.

Ernie, where do you think he got them? From some Communist Party internal document? It's HIS book! Of course they are going to be found with him! Of course he "made them up"! But do you think he just made them up out of thin air? You think he sat down at a table one night and said to himself, "Oh, gee...I think I'll make all this stuff up out of thin air!" Noooo....he got them from knowledge about how the Communists operated. And was he correct? Well...do you walk into a restaurant wearing a mask made by Communist slave laborers in China? There you go!

I have know about the horrible effects Communism has had on our country but this puts it all in an VERY clear perspective. This is perhaps the MOST enlightening book I have ever read.
